Howard was outplaying Cooney toward the end of last season.  For Boeheim to give Frank key minutes toward the end of last year speaks volumes about what JB thinks of him.  Gillon was brought in as an immediate replacement for Joseph and Richardson's departures because we would be ridiculously thin in the backcourt without Gillon.  White will be brought in for the same reason.  Gillon and White could have great seasons for us, and I really hope they do, but I doubt either is plan A for a starting spot.  Howard is the only player of the 3 that has NBA potential.  The jump from Freshman to Sophomore is typically the largest improvement a player makes and Howard seems poised to make a jump after his late season contributions.  Howard made a few dump plays last year but he showed a lot more flashes of greatness.  I think he will be a much better player with consistent minutes and game experience.  Howard's defense was outstanding for a Freshman at the top of the key.  JB tends to reward defensive intensity and I think that alone will get Howard the starter's minutes.

So back to my original question...Does anyone have actual updates about Howard's offseason development?  I appreciate everyone's opinions based on last year but I am going to cancel my premium membership unless I get true insider info :):):)
